Forseti · the hall where quarrels end
People bring their disputes to Forseti, and leave reconciled. His hall, Glitnir, stands on golden pillars beneath a roof of silver.
Context
Gylfaginning names him as the son of Baldr and Nanna. The bright hall is a place of judgement where a quarrel can finally be laid down.
